A British Columbia-based engineer says his 3D printer could soon be building homes in B.C. and around the world, claiming the machine can build a 2,700-square-foot home in 24 to 48 hours. Paul Tinari, ...

3D-printed concrete buildings offer the promise of rapid, eco-friendly construction. However, developing a material that is both printable and exceptionally strong remains a significant challenge.

The world's first model of a 3D concrete printer, designed and manufactured by Michigan-based Build Additive, is now in Traverse City.

Olek said a challenging aspect of this application of 3D-printed concrete is that it will be exposed to a marine environment. "That means exposure to elevated levels of chlorides that can chemically ...
